Dry Eye Treatment Trialled


A new treatment for Dry Eye Syndrome is undergoing advanced clinical trials and could be used to ease intraocular eye pressure in patients with moderate to severe symptoms, according to manufacturer Can-Fite BioPharma.

Scientists at Can-Fite report that administering a pill orally seemed to ease the symptoms of patients with the disease that inflames and painfully irritates the eye.

The eye condition is thought to affect over 30 million people and occurs when eyes become dry and irritated following problems with the tear film that otherwise keeps eyes moist and lubricated. Experts hope that, following FDA and drug licensing approval, the treatment will be used to alleviate the symptoms of this uncomfortable eye problem.
